Use
--------
select replace(quote_literal('don\'t'), '\'', '');
Or
select replace(quote_ident(myColumnName, '\'', '');
Thanks

Subject: [SQL] ignore single character in SELECT query?
Given select criteria "dont" I would like to return rows with values
"don't". Or similarily I want rows with "they're" given input criteria
"theyre".
So basically I want to ignore a single character (the apostrophe
character), anywhere in the middle of my search word, in selecting
results. How can I do this?
